THE WALK YOUR PLANS EXPERIENCE

Walk through your floor plans before you build it.

See every room, doorway, hallway, and transition at true 1:1 scale. Move through the layout as though the space already exists and make important decisions before construction begins.

What Is a Full-Scale Walkthrough?

Your floor plan is projected at actual scale in our Atlanta studio. Interior and exterior elevations can also be displayed so you can better understand walls, openings, cabinetry, fixtures, and other important details.

Instead of trying to imagine the space from a drawing, you can physically walk through it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a life-size floor plan walkthrough?
Your floorplan is projected in our Atlanta studio at true 1:1 scale. Allowing you to physically walk through the layout as though the space already exists.
You can experience room sizes, hallways, doors, clearances, furniture placement, and the relationships between spaces before construction begins.
What can I evaluate during a walkthrough?
Common areas of review include:

  • Room sizes and proportions
  • Traffic flow
  • Door and window placement
  • Kitchen and bathroom layouts
  • Furniture placement
  • Storage
  • Clearances and accessibility
  • Sightlines
  • Operational flow
  • Alternate layouts and plan options
Can you show more than the floor plan?
Yes. Interior and exterior elevations can also be displayed to help you understand cabinetry, windows, fixtures, wall details, and vertical relationships.
The exact files shown will depend on what is available for your project.
Can we move furniture during the walkthrough?
Yes. Movable furniture and other physical tools can be placed within the projected plan to help you test scale, spacing, circulation, and layout decisions.
Can we make changes during the session?
You can review options, discuss potential changes, and document feedback during the session.
We do not replace your architect, designer, engineer, or builder. Your project professionals remain responsible for evaluating and incorporating approved changes into the construction documents.
Will I receive notes after the walkthrough?
Changes, questions, and observations can be documented directly on your plans during the session. These marked-up files can then be shared with the appropriate members of your project team.
Who should attend?
Bring the people involved in the decisions.
That may include homeowners, family members, architects, builders, designers, engineers, business owners, operators, investors, or other project stakeholders.
Can someone participate remotely?
Yes. Builders, designers, family members, or other stakeholders may be able to join by video when they cannot attend in person.
How long does a walkthrough take?
Most sessions are approximately 1-2 hours, although timing depends on the size and complexity of the project and the number of people and decisions involved.
As a general guide, many projects can be reviewed at a pace of approximately 3,000 to 4,000 square feet per hour.
Can we compare more than one floor plan?
Yes. Multiple plans or layout options can be prepared for comparison. Additional preparation and studio time may be required depending on the number and complexity of the plans.
Can I return after my plans are revised?
Yes. Many clients schedule a shorter follow-up session to verify changes and confirm the updated plan before construction begins.
Is the walkthrough useful for renovations and additions?
Yes. Walkthroughs can help you evaluate a renovation, addition, or reconfigured space before demolition or construction begins.
How can a walkthrough help reduce change orders?
Changes made after framing, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, or finishes are underway can become expensive.
Walking the plans at full scale gives you a better chance to identify concerns while changes are still being made on paper.
A meaningful change order can easily cost several thousand dollars. Across a full project, change orders can add significantly to the total construction cost. Walkthroughs start at $950 per hour, so identifying one important issue early may more than cover the cost of the experience.
